The Genshin Impact features an open-world environment and an action-based battle system using elemental magic and character-switching mechanics. The game has a large cast of playable characters, each with their own unique abilities and elemental powers.
The cast of characters in Genshin Impact hails from the continent of Teyvat, comprising seven nations: Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan and Snezhnaya. You can unlock or acquire these characters by performing “Wishes” through the use of Intertwined Fates or Acquaint Fates (which are purchased with Primogems but could also be available through special events, quests, or exchanging for Masterless Stardust or Masterless Starglitter at Paimon’s Bargains).
